Three years ago, I got sick of the constant DtD pests ringing my bell and waking up my sleeping child. I put a sign on my door that reads like this:

NO SOLICITING
POST NO BILLS
This means NO: handbills, flyers, advertisements, pitching, campaigning, marketing, publicizing, proselytizing, preaching, witnessing, demonstrating, selling, fund-raising or promoting.
Violators will be prosecuted in accordance to Saginaw City Code: 1987, § 12-113; Ord. No. 91-10, § 4, 9-17-91 and Saginaw City Code: 1987, §§ 13-1, 13-2; Ord. No. 2004-17, § 1, 11-16-04

Since then, other than kids selling cookies for school, I have had exactly two DtD salesmen ring my bell. I simply informed tham that the sign was not there for its entertainment value and that I was calling the police immediately to report their violation. Both left the neighborhood immediately. (One was found and ticketed, the other must have gotten the heck out of Dodge.) I have also seen MANY flyer/door hanger guys, making the rounds of my neighborhood, walk up to my door and then quickly leave without attaching anything to my door.
